Brooklyn head coach Lionel Hollins said that Jarrett Jack can handle being the starting point guard for the Nets next season.

"Why can’t he? He’s done it last year, he’s done it in Portland, he’s done it in Golden State -- wherever he’s been, he’s had moments where he’s had to start," Hollins said. "And I think if a player is not starting [all the time], he gets a bad rap that he can’t be a starter. Well, that’s not the case. He’s been on teams with a lot of good starting point guards, and he’s done a great job of adding that depth that they have at point guard." Jack averaged 15.9 points, 6.6 assists, 3.8 boards, 1.2 steals and 0.7 3-pointers in 27 starts last season, so he will be an interesting pick towards the end of the middle rounds. Aug 1 - 11:58 AM

Jarrett Jack said that he's "very ready" to start at point guard for the Nets.

With Deron Williams' departure, Jack is the man in charge. "It’s not my first rodeo as far as being thrust into the (starter’s) role if that were to be the case," he said. Jack also revealed that D-Will thought he needed a change of scenery, a quote that will do nothing to turn down the noise that Williams couldn't handle New York. As for Jack, he's going to see plenty of playing time on a roster that has a lot of quantity but not much quality in the backcourt. Don't sleep on him in the middle rounds. Jul 13 - 10:11 AM

Jarrett Jack is now the favorite to start at point guard for the Nets.

Deron Williams is gone, so Jack is the captain now. He is under contract for two more seasons and there is very little competition at point guard. In 27 starts last season, Jack averaged 15.9 points, 4.7 dimes, 0.9 steals and 0.7 treys. He's a later mid-round pick with so-so upside. Jul 10 - 5:18 PM

The Brooklyn Nets are expected to explore a trade of Jarrett Jack, according to Marc Stein of ESPN.

Jack is due $12.6 million over the next two seasons with only partial guarantees for the 2016-17 season and the Nets will try to move Jack and his contract to free up some cap space, according to Stein. While Jack serves as a solid bench option no matter where he lands, he won't see enough minutes to warrant a roster spot in standard fantasy leagues unless injuries to a starter force him into a starting role.

Sergey Karasev worked out on Sunday for the first time since having knee surgery in March.

Doctors told Karasev that he might not be game-ready until "the end of August or mid-September," so he still has a long way to go in his rehab. The good news is that he should be ready for training camp and there's no doubt he'll be available on opening night.

The Nets are likely to release newly-acquired Quincy Miller, according to Shams Charania of RealGM.

Miller was acquired in exchange for Steve Blake on Monday, but may want to rent in Brooklyn rather than buy as he looks like a long-shot to stick around with the Nets. The 22-year-old has some upside, but still needs some seasoning in the D-League and can be left off fantasy rosters this season.

Thomas Robinson said that he wants a long-term relationship with the Nets.

"I’m glad I’m finally here and hopefully we can make this a long-term relationship," Robinson said. "This time I hope it’s for real." Robinson nearly ended up with the Nets last season before the 76ers swooped in and signed him, but he now has a two-year deal with Brooklyn. Nets general manager Billy King said that Robinson will bring a physical presence to their frontcourt, but owners in standard leagues can ignore him while the Nets are at full strength.
